Put a small sauce pan on the stove and turn the burner to medium-high. Add the cocoa powder to the pan and then pour in the almond milk. Add the Coconut Nectar. Use a whisk to stir while heating the cocoa until all lumps are gone and the cocoa is hot.

*Although I like to use stevia over Coconut Nectar whenever possible, I find that stevia tastes a little bitter with chocolate. (On the other hand, stevia tastes great with lemons for lemonade.) You may prefer to use Coconut Nectar to make cocoa, or perhaps use a bit of both. Coconut Nectar is made from the sap of coconut trees and it is low on the glycemic index, so it won't spike your blood sugar like many other sugar substitutes. It's also anti-fungal which makes it a good choice if you have candida or other gut issues.

Is it possible to eat healthy and enjoy your food, too?

There are millions of us eating to heal. Here's to celebrating food in all it's amazing glory, it's beauty, it's deliciousness and it's healing properties.

We believe that healing with foods does not have to mean deprivation and denial. In fact, with a little planning ahead, a bit of effort in the kitchen (but not too much), some honed shopping skills and a little know-how, it is possible to live a "healing with foods" lifestyle while eating with maximum pleasure.

We want it all. We want to thrive and feel healthy and yet we want to eat delicious, fabulous foods.

If we can't have the pancakes, what can we have that looks, smells and tastes most like a pancake? Is there a pancake out there that is healing but also still satisfying and delicious? We can enthusiastically say the answer is, absolutely, yes.

In fact, it's become a goal of ours to see how many tasty but healing foods we can buy in stores, eat in restaurants or recreate at home. And when we simply can't adapt a recipe to be more healing, the next question we have is, "What else can we eat that is scrumptious and exciting, but that also contributes to our overall health?"

That's what this blog is all about...balancing the goal of eating amazing, great-tasting foods with an effort to become as healthy as possible. Can it be done? You bet your cupcakes, honey!
